I am glad I turned off the tele after a few games.


he did not come out to play and compete hard. he came out to get his bloody paycheck and leave the facilities.

Who didn't come out to play? Isner? But, I feel you. I can't stand watching non-competitive matches. Waste of time.

So true. I overestimated him. After that shocking loss to Ferrer last year I thought he would want to redeem himself. I mean, c'mon, this is his home slam. He played like a darn junior. It's ridiculous and disrespectful to the fans. A top ten player should be able to give a better accounting of him or her self.

But don't come out there playing like an imposter. Not that he would've won, but this effort was even worse than last year's performance.

Anyway, Tsonga is over rated. He may be a shot maker, but he has noodles for brains.

Verdasco played well, but he needs help when it comes to playing the big points. That's where the Big Four excels; in rising to the occasion and understanding the relevance of a point and the time in the match.

Verdasco lost it in the big moments, but then Andy's Andy and if Verdasco had upped his game, Murray would have matched it and exceeded it. He is a master strategist and he's going to be a tough out here. Did you notice how much he was coming to the net? Yikes!

hard to believe that verdasco is a top 60 these days.

he was a top 10 player in 2009.

Yeah, he went off the boil for a few years, but seems to be getting it back. The only thing is, is it too late?

milos had his chances to break and he had his chances to drag the set into a breaker.


he got tight and choked.

his only chance is to drag the next 2 sets into a breaker and then try to make it happen.


he is not very good at the net and he doesn't move well enough to deal with nole off the ground.

milos and berdych are just not mentally strong enough in the clutch on the biggest of stages.

that is something they are going to have to work on.


only way to fix mental issues to practice, practice, and then practice some more.


they are both significantly improved this year but there is this question of testicular fortitude.

milos should have been totally fearless and grabbed at least 1 of the first 2 sets. he certainly had his chances.

Agreed. You can't put money on these guys when things get tight. That's for sure. You can cut Raonic some slack though, since he is new to this, but Berdych should know better by now.

So, both semi-finals are on Friday. A nice day of rest for Rafa, hopefully he serves well against Andy. And cuts down on those unforced errors, he was horrible today for the first 2 sets!
